Bachi & Harini · Married in 2004

More than
22 years.
One family story.

It began with two people and a promise. Over more than twenty-two years, that promise became a home, two children, and a life built together between Indian roots and Connecticut.

Chapter one · The beginning

Before there was a family of four, there were Bachi and Harini.

Their marriage in 2004 is the real beginning of this archive—not the first Facebook post, and not the oldest digital photograph.

Everything that followed grew from that partnership: a new home, parenthood, traditions carried forward, and an ever-widening world shared side by side.

2007–2011 · Becoming four

First Ruthika.
Then Rithvik.

Ruthika made Bachi and Harini parents in 2007. Four years later, Rithvik arrived—and the shape of the family changed forever.

Two people became a home. Then that home became a childhood.

2012 onward · The growing years

A home full
of firsts.

Birthdays in the park, museum days, costumes, school years, sibling mischief, and quiet weekends at home. These were not separate events—they were the texture of a shared childhood.

The archive matters because the ordinary days moved quickly. Together, they reveal how the children grew—and how their parents grew with them.

Through every season · The two at the center

The marriage
inside the family.

Between work, parenting, celebrations, and change, Bachi and Harini remained the steady center. The family story is also their story: a partnership renewed in thousands of small choices over more than twenty-two years.

Chapter five · Their own paths

The children grew into stories of their own.

The same family that held their earliest days also became the place from which they could explore, compete, create, and become themselves.

Ruthika

Her voice found its stage.

Singing became one of Ruthika's defining gifts—shared here in a performance filled with poise, heart, and a voice all her own.

Discipline became strength.

Taekwondo turned persistence into a black belt—one milestone in an adventurous life still taking shape.

Chapter six · The world grew wider

As the children grew,
so did the map.

Family travel became another way of growing together—from beach days in Cancún to a 1,250-mile road trip around Ireland.
